Our Power of 3 game [screenshot included]

Posted by Mr-Money May. 20, 2009 @ 7:45 AM EDT

It's a platformer/puzzler/shooter and we've almost finished the game engine. After that, it's going to be onto level design, cut scenes, graphics, audio and more.

I just thought I'd show you a lil screenshot

If that was the finished product, it wouldn't look very good, but considering it's not finished, it does look good, because when you know something that's decent is going to get better, it makes perfect sense to say in advance that something looks pretty good even when it only looks a little bit good.

"Good" is a matter of opinion, of course. Everyone's definition of "good" is, for the most part, the same, or at least very similar. The extent at which one perceives something to be good, however, is different for everyone. There are some, for example, who think arithmetic is good for various reasons, such as it being useful for calculating their costly savings to create a plan to prevent ending up bankrupt, or even smaller things like working at a restaurant and doing some quick brain work to satisfy every overpaying customer with their meal selection and the correct amount of change. Others, however, have a heavy disliking for math and arithmetic of any sort for reasons that commonly relate to how school only makes it more and more difficult as the years progress, and what they learned in the first five years of school is all they feel they need for life. Even if that may be true, his or her opinion in reference to using math is not what many would call "good."

As an artist, I look for everyone's definition of "good," whether it be a beautifully-animated movie with no story or substance, a sprite-based tweened animation that is moderately captivating, or a humorous movie with terrible graphics that someone submitted to the Portal to get major giggles reading the reviews, letting the giggles splash into laughs on occasions when terribly-made movies such as this pass judgment. Even when I try to consider these to be good, I don't always end up succeeding, because (as mentioned before) everyone has a different mindset for what is good.

This still shot of your Power of Three future submission contains many things I do not understand, and a few things that I feel that I might. The armless blue round gremlin creature seems to be aiming at the bare platform wall. The arrows appear to be indicating the direction an object would progress if it were to bounce off the wall, however this theory is not certain, for if a round object such as the gremlin being were to bounce into the wall at the angle of the arrow pointing diagonally up-left, he would more likely ricochet at an up-right angle rather than straight to the right, taking simple trigonometry into consideration. Being that there is a crosshair in the direction of the gremlin being's face, he is most likely to be aiming something besides himself to launch into the bare platform wall.

Clearly, the screenshot is filled with mysteries, one of which being the angles of the arrows with the gremlin's crosshair, another being the gremlin itself. What could its story be? Perhaps it is an escaped convict from Death Row. Perhaps it is a transformed intergalactic living banana peel from ten thousand years in the future. Perhaps it's a girl that just buzzed off all her hair with a chainsaw.

The mysteries in the screenshot are clear. Tthe answers to these mysteries are not clear. However, unlike most mysteries of the world, nay, the universe, I feel fairly certain this simple incomplete picture will find itself with the rest of the jigsaw pieces, and I am looking forward to it all making sense as a finished project.

In other words...

it's good :)
